This fall is turning into a goldmine for home video collectors and film fans. In recent days I've posted tons of exciting news about DVDs and Blu-ray releases in September and October, we can now add another to the list. Synapse Films will present, for the first time ever, the extended director's cut of
The Exterminator on Blu-ray/DVD combo pack. This is one I haven't seen, but from the trailers and clips I've dug up, it is one that I sure as hell won't be missing. Here are some details:
Exterminator (The)
DVD/Blu-ray Combo

Widescreen Anamorphic 1.78:1 Region 0 DTS-HD MA 2.0 Mono

The man they pushed too far is coming for you--in high-def! The exploitation revenge classic THE EXTERMINATOR burns onto Blu-ray in a newly re-mastered uncut version! Christopher George, Robert Ginty and Samantha Eggar star in The Exterminator, James Glickenhaus' explosive story of Vietnam vet John Eastland (Ginty), a man who launches a bloody vendetta against the New York underworld when his best friend is brutally beaten by a vicious street gang. Eastland becomes a vigilante hero to the public, but to police The Exterminator is a psychopath capable of dangerously undermining an entire government administration. Synapse Films is proud to present The Exterminator in its more violent and gory director's cut, lovingly restored in high-definition from original vault materials. One of the most cold-blooded and controversial revenge films ever made, this is a sick example of the almost unbelievable descent into gruesome savagery in American movies. (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times)
Even more great news is that Synapse are committed to releasing their films in region free editions when possible and
The Exterminator fits the bill, so all you foreigners can pre-order with confidence!
